<p><strong>ISTANBUL</strong> — A statue erected in a Turkish city of an Ottoman prince taking a selfie with a cellphone has been vandalized amid strong criticism of the artwork.</p>
<p>Just days after it was erected, someone — perhaps offended by disparagement of Ottoman history — hacked off the phone and the prince’s sword. The mayor’s office in Amasya, a city an hour south of Turkey’s Black Sea coast, said police have been ordered to guard the disarmed prince.</p>

<p><strong>WASHINGTON &#8212;</strong> Piece by piece, in backpacks and carry-on bags, American aid contractor Alan Gross made sure laptops, smartphones, hard drives and networking equipment were secreted into Cuba. The most sensitive item, according to official trip reports, was the last one: a specialized mobile phone chip that experts say is often used by the Pentagon and the CIA to make satellite signals virtually impossible to track.</p>
